let baby out every 2 hours --yet keeps them contained for a little while

so that we maybe able to get started on their training!

of course they will chew their way out after a while but oh so cheap and

inexpensive and a great way to recycle that cardboard!

thanks for sharing to Peggy and family!

the hardest training you will see in your Eskie is housebreaking

while we try to get them started the job falls to you as owners to make sure you have a housebroke puppy

the biggest concern I have is hearing

Puppy potty's at the door

I would like for my answer to be "OPEN THE DOOR"

but alas I have to be nice

So just remember your baby will potty on the carpet if allowed ON the CARPET!

and will potty in the house if you dont take them out

on a regular basis. Based on their age you will need to take them out every 2 hours

when they first wake up

when they first come out of the kennel/crate

after they eat

after 5 minutes of fun play time

train them early use a good odor contol cleaner for accidents

keep them on easy cleaned floors till you are sure they are

trained

NOW--

OPEN THE DOOR !!!

Submissive peeing

for the most part your puppy will do this when excited beyond belief

and for about "A YEAR"

No really it will take them a little while to grow out of it but

here are some tips to help control it

when approaching them don't make a big fuss

this is usually when it occurs most often

when you come home

when they are getting to go out side

a big event approaches (company coming)

SO

start with the common "ignore"

when you first come home -- ignore them

when going out side don't make a big fuss till after the collar-leash- harness

is on

when company visits all ignore

when puppy has settled down a good girl/boy will do till initial "excitement"

has passed

the submissive piddle is from small bladders getting over excited

staying calm until the chance to empty our bladder is the biggest start

to helping them control it

once they start to mature this should also subside

NOW this is for submissive piddle those times when they aren't excited and pretty calm isn't "submissive" and should be watched to make sure we are

following a routine in housebreaking until puppy reaches a secure age to feel confident they are housebroke -- and if we are doing it in our crate after less than an hour or 2 in there do look into -- water intake- bladder and kidney infections will also have effect on "holding" it

restrictions of water - not enough proper time out for elimination- confused puppy will also play a part in house breaking and bladder infections

so do keep a nice routine- plenty of water at proper times and plenty of time out to play/eliminate are good starts to good house breaking success
